One thing that worked with my son was a picture chart showing the different steps of going potty (pull pants down, use potty, flush, wash) and I taped it up to the bathroom door. that way he had a visual reminder of what he needed to do when he had to potty. I also used a sticker chart and each time he sat on or used the potty he got a sticker and when he got so many stickers he got a reward.

Lots of patience - but you already know that. For my son, the picture chart of the steps and regular trips to the bathroom (we started at every 15 minutes) helped. We also waited until he was ready. He was about 4 1/2 when he learned.
